“A ROMANCE THAT WILL HAVE YOU AS UNMOORED AS THE CHARACTERS.” – Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
A DEADLY HUNT. A LOVE THAT COULD RISK EVERYTHING.
Maggie Welty lives in an old creaking manor with just her bloodhound for company. But when Maggie spots a mythical fox god in the woods, her fate is changed forever. Whoever tracks down and kills the hala in the Halfmoon Hunt will earn fame and riches. If Maggie wins the hunt, she knows her mother will finally come home.
But she can’t win on her own…
Enter Wes Winters. A troubled and arrogant outsider obsessed with the dark art of alchemy – a dangerous magical practice that changed Maggie’s mother forever. But Wes might just have the secret to killing the hala.
As the hunt takes over, the pair are drawn together as they uncover a dark magical secret that may put everything they hold dear in peril…
An intoxicating romantasy full of slow burn sizzle, dark magic, gothic tension – and unforgettably spellbinding lovers. Perfect for fans of Lauren Roberts, Erin A. Craig, and Leigh Bardugo.
